Congratulations to post-doc Dr. Christine Madliger for publishing her recent review “Conservation physiology and the quest for a “good” Anthropocene” in the journal Conservation Physiology. Along with co-supervisor Dr. Steven Cooke from Carleton University, Christine worked with a diverse team of conservation-minded physiologists to examine the positive role that physiology can play in exploring complex issues within the current ‘Anthropocene’ era. As the review notes, while the narrative surrounding the fate of the world’s species and ecosystems is often negative, the field of conservation physiology can infuse optimistic perspectives, pragmatic approaches, and heightened public engagement into this pursuit. Fantastic achievement Christine on working to make a difference!
